I think I felt like that two minutes /before/ I got to work, and then I as so busy I didn't even check the clock again until 16:30. But the last couple hours were filled with a frothy, seething hatred.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2011, 12:51:11 PM »

Just got back from lunch. Day is half over already. I finally started playing Tiny Tower so not much else will happen barring any major emergency.(ie. someone can't print or someone needs access to some files or someone clicks the outlook icon 10 times and wonders why it isn't opening.)

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2011, 12:54:48 PM »

i do my lunch at 1:30 so i get back at 2:30 and only have two more hours of work. shit i just now realized how well off i got it here. so lucky.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2011, 02:29:30 PM »

Oh yeah monday over, enjoying a cold brewski

Bebpo · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2011, 03:45:57 PM »

Things are crazy hectic, like always, so no one has any time to train me/oversee my work, like always, so I'm winging it and learning as I go, like always

Mupepe · « **Reply #18 on:** July 11, 2011, 03:48:45 PM »

Everyone in my group is on vacation. Fuck 'em. I'm still cruisin. I'll let the inbox fill up.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 11, 2011, 07:45:55 PM »

20 minutes at work and I want to go home. fuck this

lennedsay · « **Reply #20 on:** July 11, 2011, 09:34:37 PM »

I was told today that when I come in a few minutes early, I can freely leave early. They don't really care what I do as long as I log in full time hours. I'm so used to working until 9 or 10pm every night and working every weekend. "Oh, I can go home at 4:30? Well don't mind if I do!"

Also, they don't want me taking less than an hour for lunch unless necessary.

I didn't even get a break at my last job, despite working ridiculous amounts of hours every day. Is this what a normal job is supposed to be like? Why didn't I get myself fired sooner? Best. Career Move. Ever.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #21 on:** July 11, 2011, 09:46:17 PM »

What's your new job again? Sounds nice

It's what normal good jobs are like.

Work? Oh yeah, that thing I have to go back to on August 31st...

Got up at 8am and went for a 4 mile run. Watered the garden, made some coffee and breakfast and sat on on the back steps while reading a book.

I told you wearing the thong to the interview was a good idea

It's in the accounting realm, but not doing taxes and yelling at employees all day, every day, weekends included. I've seriously never had a job where we could formally take a "break" or manage our own time, so it's pretty wonderful, I must say.

However, my last job was nice enough to give me 2 1/2 months paid and 2 months off. Unemployment

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2011, 11:22:54 PM »

Getting fired/laid off, or quitting, has ALWAYS been a good career move in my experience so far. Seriously, it's happened three times and every time the next job was at a 50%+ salary bump.

TEEEPO · « **Reply #28 on:** July 12, 2011, 12:03:01 AM »

very few on this board or in general are as smart and qualified as you are

lennedsay · « **Reply #29 on:** July 12, 2011, 12:06:37 AM »

I got 20%+ with zero experience in my new position.

Get a Master's degree in School Psychology, there are always districts in need of them.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #32 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:43:11 AM »

As a self diagnosed hypchondriac I doubt psychology would be a good study for me.

US seems like a cool place, but the lack of holiday days in most jobs makes me not want to move there, unless it's for like 1 year to check it out. Obviously if you work in the school system it's different.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2011, 04:07:45 AM »

all hypochondriacs are self-diagnosed

Yeah, that's been my experience as well. Every layoff has resulted in a substantial career bump.
